330 North Wabash, International Style skyscraper in downtown Chicago, United States.
The 52-story black aluminum and glass tower rises 212 meters above North Wabash Avenue along the Chicago River with clean geometric lines.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed this building between 1968 and 1969 as his final American project before his death, with construction completed in 1973.
The structure exemplifies the International Style architectural movement through its minimalist design principles and extensive use of industrial materials like steel and glass.
The building contains 35 elevators serving office spaces and The Langham Hotel, which occupies floors two through thirteen with 316 luxury rooms.
The building's computer-operated heating system and heat recovery technology were revolutionary features when it opened as the IBM headquarters in 1973.
